Review: Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose

February 12, 2019Leave a comment

Four Stars Wow. What a roller coaster from beginning to end! I don't know how I've gone this long without reading a Karen Rose novel, but I am officially a fan. SAY YOU'RE SORRY is the first book in Ms. Rose's new Sacramento series. It's a wonderfully crafted romantic thriller following Daisy, a free spirit still … Continue reading Review: Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose

Review: Cowboy Honor by Carolyn Brown

February 4, 2019Leave a comment

Three Stars This review was difficult for me to write. I didn't hate this book, but it also didn't really grab my attention in any real way. In COWBOY HONOR, Carolyn Brown crafts a sweet world set on a Texas ranch with a big loving family. When I say these characters are sweet and loving, I … Continue reading Review: Cowboy Honor by Carolyn Brown

Review: Crazy Cupid Love by Amanda Heger

January 29, 2019Leave a comment

Four Stars I capital-L Loved this book! Every time I picked up my kindle in public, people would look at me like I was crazy because every few pages I would be laughing out loud. CRAZY CUPID LOVE is amusing, emotionally romantic with the perfect amount of steam, and an absolute blast to read. The plot … Continue reading Review: Crazy Cupid Love by Amanda Heger

Review: The Wrong Highlander by Lynsay Sands

January 28, 2019January 28, 20191 Comment

Three Stars Jumping into a series on book seven is always a risk. Luckily, THE WRONG HIGHLANDER stands alone well and I enjoyed this book about Evina and Conran. Evi is desperate to save her ailing father, so she goes to request (force) Rory Buchanan, a famed healer, to cure him. Through a series of classic … Continue reading Review: The Wrong Highlander by Lynsay Sands

Review: Playing for Keeps by Jill Shalvis

January 21, 2019January 21, 2019Leave a comment

4.5 Stars I can always count on Jill Shalvis to make me smile while reading a book with heart, humor, and most of all, romance. PLAYING FOR KEEPS follows Sadie Lane, a struggling tattoo artist, and Caleb Parker, an Elon Musk-like tech mogul, on their journey from frenemies to love. To start off, dog lovers … Continue reading Review: Playing for Keeps by Jill Shalvis

Review: Texas Legacy by Lorraine Heath

January 15, 2019January 15, 2019Leave a comment

4.5 Stars What a gift to fans of this series! TEXAS LEGACY is the long-awaited concluding novella to Lorraine Heath’s Texas Trilogy. The first book in the series, TEXAS DESTINY was initially published in 1997 (!?!?), but Ms. Heath slid readers back into her Texas world as you would slip into an old, worn-in pair … Continue reading Review: Texas Legacy by Lorraine Heath

Review: Mouth to Mouth by Tessa Bailey

November 12, 2018November 21, 20181 Comment

Five Stars It's official, Tessa Bailey is a magician. She has made me fall in love with a New Adult novel! Mouth to Mouth was a slice of pure sunshine and I can't recommend it more. Rory is an ex-con who works with his two brothers as a lifeguard on Long Beach and a bartender … Continue reading Review: Mouth to Mouth by Tessa Bailey

About Romance Reader

Hi Romance Peeps! My name is Teresa and I am a self-proclaimed romance aficionado with a BA in English and PR. My “real” job involves a grab bag of communications and community relations for a large nonprofit in the DC area. I probably read 5-7 romance novels a week. I take grave exception to people calling romance novels “smut” or “trash”. My #1 romance novel of all time forever and ever amen is “Dreaming of You” by Queen Lisa Kleypas. Read my posts to learn more about me, but mostly to hear my thoughts about romance novels new and old. Love you all!

I don’t think anyone quite writes small towns like @robyncarrwriter 💜 her ability to transport a reader is second to none. I am dying for her Virgin River @netflix series! . When I first started reading this series I took up my family’s entire library hold with Robyn Carr books (my mom wasn’t amused 🤷🏼‍♀️) then I would binge read them! There is just something so sweet, romantic, and engaging about each story. . I seriously think I finished the series in a month. Did I mention there are 18 books? 😵🤯 Yup. Nothing by RC all the time. . PARADISE VALLEY is the seventh book in the series and follows a wounded war veteran who came back to heal. Of course he finds love too bc that’s the fun part. . VIRGIN RIVER is the first book in this series and I highly recommend you give it a chance if you’re looking for a change of pace 💕 Get on this series before the show comes out!! . #romancestagram | Shades of Love [Week 3] Purple & Black 💜🖤 . QOTD - Do you have a favorite small town romance series/author/book? 🏡📚 . . . #robyncarr #smalltownromance #kindlereader #paradisevalley #virginriverseries #virginriver #readromance #bookstagrammersunite #kindlefire #harlequinromance #harlequinpublishing #harlequinmira #contemporaryromance
HAPPY @lisakleypas RELEASE DAY! 🎇🎉🎊 . . Don’t try to tell me this isn’t an international holiday 🎆 I won’t believe you. I’m confused as to why I’m at work when CLEARLY I should be at home reading Lisa Kleypas novels all day. . Does anyone else get nervous about reading new books from their favorite authors? 😬 I feel like I need to psych myself up to LOVE it 🥰 I want to be in the perfect mood, with enough time to immerse myself in the story, NO METRO READING FOR MY FAVORITES 🙅🏼‍♀️ They deserve better. . Then, of course, I read two chapters and remember why that author tops my list 💕 the warm fuzzies, the emotions, the comfort... it all comes back! . Make sure to grab your copy of DEVIL’S DAUGHTER today! Or, really anything with “Lisa Kleypas” on the cover is a safe bet. . QOTD - Are there any book releases coming up that have you excited?? 🎉💐🔥 . . . #ireadromance #regencyromance #lisakleypas #hellostranger #devilsdaughter #historicalromance #historicalromancenovel #harpercollins #avonromance #bookcover #booksta #bookstoread #tbrpost
I’m just going to put this out there: we are severely lacking in quirky heroes 😜 We have a lot of fabulous quirky heroines, and don’t get me wrong, I love them 💕 But I really like it when the hero is a bit of an oddball. . My top three quirky heroes are: . ❣️ Cletus {BEARD SCIENCE @reidromance } . ❣️ Mal {PLAY @authorkyliescott } . ❣️ Simon {THE SERPENT PRINCE @elizabethhoytauthor } . Simon in THE SERPENT PRINCE wears red-heeled shoes, talks a mile a minute, and is, frankly, a little bit out there in the best kind of way 🤪 He’s also hilarious and completely devoted to his quiet and sweet, country bred heroine. I love this whole trilogy but Simon 🥰 is by far one of my favorite Hoyt heroes. . #romancestagram | Shades of Love [Week 3] Purple & Black 💜🖤 . QOTD - Can you recommend some quirky heroes or heroines I need in my life?? 😜💛 . . . . #foreverromance #booksandflowers #elizabethhoyt #grandcentralpublishing #theserpentprince #historicalromance #bookstagram #bookstagramfeatures #massmarketpaperback #romancereaders #romancenovel #readromance #ireadromance #regencyromance
